The restorer gene R/5 in Fengkel background was located on chromosome 5L by SSR method; it linked with bnlg1711, bnlg1346 and phi058, the genetic distances with bnlg1711, bnlg1346, and phi058 were 7.51cM, 1.68cM, and 9.87cM respectively; the restorer gene Rf4 was mapped on chromosome 8S linked with bnlg2307.展开更多

Out of 43 primers examined, 18 primers produced distinguishable, polymorphic bands between the two parents. Linkage analysis in the mapping population showed that two markers UBC-808 and UBC-848 were closely linked with the restorer gene Rf6 of the Triticum timopheevii CMS system. The distance between the two markers and the restorer gene was 7.9 cM and 4.9 cM, respectively. Also two parents were screened with 181 pairs of SSR primers, of which, 34.3% showed polymorphisms. But no locus was found linked with the restorer gene. Compared with the SSR technique, the ISSR approach used in the experiment provided more information and proved to be a valuable method to identify alien fragments.展开更多

Microsatel-lite markers were employed to map the major restoring gene in LK783. Maintainer and restorer DNA pools were established using the extreme sterile and fertile plants among (KJ5418A//911289/LK783)F1 population, respectively. Seventy-nine sets of SSR primers were screened for polymorphism between the two pools, 6 of which were found polymorphic. Linkage analysis showed that Xgwm11, Xgwm18, Xgwm264a and Xgwm273 were linked to the restoring gene in LK783, while Xgwm11, Xgwm18 and Xgwm273 were co-segregated. The distance between the Rf gene in LK783 and the three co-segregated markers was 6.54 ± 4.37 cM, the distance between Rf gene and Xgwm264a was 5. 71 ± 4.10 cM. The four SSR markers were located on chromosome IBS by amplifying the DNA of nulli-tetrasomics and ditelosomics of CS with the 4 sets of primers, indicating that the major restoring gene in LK783 was located on IBS, but the relative location of the gene was different from Rfv1, allelism of the two genes should be further investigated. The breeding for new fertility restorer lines of K-type cytoplasmic male sterility in wheat would be facilitated by using the four polymorphic markers.展开更多
The generation fertility of 51 F1, 19 F2 and 6 BC1 between 3 thermo-sensitive genic male sterile lines (TGMS-lines) Pei'ai 64S, 6311S and 360S, and the three lines of hybrid rice including 7 indica cytoplasmic male...The generation fertility of 51 F1, 19 F2 and 6 BC1 between 3 thermo-sensitive genic male sterile lines (TGMS-lines) Pei'ai 64S, 6311S and 360S, and the three lines of hybrid rice including 7 indica cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMS-lines) and their corresponding maintainer lines (B-lines) and 3 indica restorer lines (R-lines) were investigated to study the expression of TGMS-genes in the backgrounds of the three lines of hybrid rice. Pei'ai 64S has stronger fertility restoring (Rf) genes for CMS-lines and its TGMS trait is governed by 2 pairs of independent recessive genes; The TGMS trait of 6311S is governed by a single recessive gene with weaker Rf-gene in 6311S and the TGMS trait of 360S is governed by a single recessive gene with no Rf-gene in 360S. The investigation on the fertility of F1 plants between 5 CMS-lines and 4 TGMS generations selected from F2 plants of 4 CMS-lines x 6311S confirmed that the expression of TGMS-gene was controlled by Rf-gene in the genetic background of cytoplasm of CMS-lines, but not affected by Rf-gene in the genetic background of normal fertile cytoplasm. The potential breeding strategies of TGMS-lines with cytoplasm of CMS-lines and CMS-lines with the nucleus of TGMS-genes were discussed.展开更多

The result showed that Hai R had one major dominant gene (RfB) to control the CMS fertility restoration and this fertility restoration gene functioned at the sporophytic level. The sterile cytoplasm background might not only influence the transmission rate of male gamete but also that of female gamete when the restorer gene was recessive. It could be deduced that this fertility restoration gene might come from G. harknessii cotton, Hai R is of value in the application of cotton interspecific hybrid breeding.展开更多

In most cases, Rf genes encoded pentatricopeptide repeat(PPR) proteins and several Rf genes are present in clusters of similar Rf-PPR-like(RFL) genes. However, the Rf genes in cotton were not fully characterized until now.Results: In total, 35 RFL genes were identified in G. hirsutum, 16 in G. arboreum, and 24 in G. raimondii. Additionally,four RFL-rich regions were identified; the RFL-rich region in Gh05 is the probable location of Rf-PPR genes in cotton and will be studied further in the future. Furthermore, an insertion sequence was identified in the promoter sequence of Gh05 G3392 gene in the restorer line, as compared with the CMS-D2 line and maintainer lines. An InDel-R marker was then developed and could be used to distinguish the restorer line carrying Rfl from other genotypes without the Rf1 allele.Conclusion: In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of RFL genes have identified the candidate Rf-PPR genes for CMS in Gossypium. The identification and analysis of RFL genes and sequence variation analysis will be useful for cloning Rf genes in the future and also for three-line hybrid breeding in cotton.展开更多

The seed impurity of Yuetai A mainly resulted from the genetic drift of restoring fertility gene (Rt) after biological contamination but not from its sterility unstability. All of the ten maintainer lines, five restorer lines and three thermo-sensitive genic male sterile lines used in the study could pollinate Yuetai A and Yuetai B to produce F1 plants, directly or indirectly resulting in Rf-gene drifting into Yuetai A and generating 'iso-cytoplasm restoring-generations'. Furthermore, high outcrossing rate and similar heading date of Yuetai A with many varieties used in rice production might easily result in the biological contamination. After removing all plants with Rf-gene mixed in Yuetai A and preventing Rf-gene drifting into Yuetai A, the seed purity of Yuetai A and Yuetai B had been raised to 100%.展开更多

文摘Cytoplasmic male sterility(CMS)-restorer system is a useful tool to exploit heterosis in soybean.The major restorer gene for the M-type CMS is known as Rf-m,located in the 162.4-kb region on chromosome 16.Sequence analysis has revealed that the Rf-m locus in Glycine max consists of seven penta tricopeptide repeat(GmPPR)genes.The deduced amino acid sequences contain 8 to 14 PPR motifs,and a phylogenetic analysis grouped these GmPPR proteins into two PPR subfamilies:Glyma.16G161800 belongs to the PLS subfamily,and the P subfamily consists.of Glyma.16G161900,Glyma 16G162000,Glyma.16G162100,Glyma.16G162700,Glyma.16G162800,and Gly-ma 16G163100.The phylogenetic analysis of seven GmPPR proteins and 27 other plant PPR proteins also showed that proteins in the same subfamilies cluster together.Comparative sequence analysis was conducted using the seven Rf-m candidate GmPPR genes from the sterile line W931A,the maintainer line W931B,and the restorer line WR016,the result showed that Glyma 16G161900 had higher polymorphism than the other candidate genes.Based on real-time quantitative RT-PCR data,all seven GmPPR genes were differentially expressed but showed constitutive expression in roots,stems,leaves,and pollen grains.Additionally,the expression level of Gly-ma 16G161900 in the sterile line W931 A was significantly higher in all tissues than in the restorer line WR016.Taken together,these results suggest that Glyma 16G161900 is the most likely candidate for the restorer gene Rf-m.This study is the first report and analysis of candidate fertility restorer(Rf)genes encoding PPR proteins in soybean.

The seed impurity of Yuetai A mainly resulted from the genetic drift of restoring fertility gene (Rt) after biological contamination but not from its sterility unstability.
